Mr. NEWHOUSE. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate my friend, Alexander Barth, on his retirement after many dedicated years to the hop industry.

Alex was the Chief Executive Officer of John I. Haas Inc., North America's leading hop supplier, as well as a partner at BarthHaas, the world's leading supplier of hop products and related services. BarthHaas, founded in 1794, is now in its eighth generation of family ownership.

As a hop farmer myself, I truly appreciate the impact John I. Haas Inc. and BarthHaas have on the industry, which is due in large part to Alex. Prior to his appointment as CEO, Alex was responsible for overseeing the company's significant production operations, so he also knows his way around a hop farm.

My sincerest thanks goes out to Alex for his honesty and integrity, and for his commitment to the prosperity of our community and industry. I wish him the best in his retirement.
